Around the world with one lense?

[jessyd]

Hey guys

I will like to know if you had to leave for a trip around the world with one lens witch one would you bring?

And if you could bring only 2 ?

Thank in advance!!

24-105mm 4.0

35mm 1.4 + 70-200mm 2.8


edit: just noticed I'm in the nikon forum, so I guess that's a 24-120, right?

18-200mm VR and then a 24-70 AF-S as the second lens.

Well I did two continents with just a 28mm and 50mm prime. Wouldn't really recommend it though, kind of a pain in the ass, but by the end of that 3 months I was literally seeing everything as it would look through the 50mm lens.

Canon MPE 65mm macro
Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS L MII

+ 1.4TC - 2*TC - filters - flash gear

I'd love to take something longer like a 120-300mm f2.8 but the weight combined with size and the fact that its not as good with general closeups as the 70-200mm with a 2*TC means it would probably be best left behind unless I were specifically touring wildlife spots alone.




(Ps I'd also probably smuggle a point and shoot or Olympus OMD + lens for some general snaps and wider angle work)

All round: 24-70

Second lens: 70-200

It is only a lense if you buy it in a shoppe.

(sorry, just being the bad boy today )

Only one: 24-70 f2.8 with a 1.7/2.0 TC.Two lens would be: 14-24 f2.8 and a 70-200 f2.8 with a 1.7 TC and a 3 set extention tube.

Thanks a lot everyones !!

If i would ask you the same question again but with lens under 800$ what would be your awnsers?

Travel around the world with one lens less then 800$ ?

And then the same but 2 lens ( total 1.600$ ) ?

Thanks in advance!!

24-105 f4L and the 70-200 f2.8 IS II

18-200mm as first choice and 17-50mm as second choice.

Oh man tough call but probably the fast mid range zoom like 17-55 2.8 on dx or 24-70 on fx. If I could take 2 it would prob be a 16-35 or 14-24 paired with a 50 1.8g on fx.

My current 3 lens setup is 10-20, 35 1.8, 80-200 2.8. I took that around Europe and I may take it with me all over north america pretty much equivent of what I would want on fx but for dx.

Since this is nikon forum, i will use 1# 85mm f/1.4 G and 2# Nikkor 50mm f/1.2
